Top 10 Richest African Footballers: 3 Nigerians make the cut
3 ex and current Nigeria internationals; Mikel Obi, Kanu Nwankwo and Austin Okocha have been named in the top 10 African Richest Footballers list.
The study was conducted and published by French publication, Footendirect. I really don’t believe Okocha and Kanu are richer than Mikel. What is however difficult to ascertain is if the list was drawn up before or after Kanu’s recent setback.
